as long as it’s a video stream with laggy input, it’s not a game. it’s a tech demo you can poke at there’s no contextual world building, and the context window is so thin, you turn around and things are already rendered differently than they were before. all this compute power and what a way to throw it away on something impressive, but completely lacking any playability ask any game developer (or player) what’s the most crucial aspect of building an open world interactive experience. it’s not the possibilities or freedom; it’s what keeps it interesting. consistency, consequence, narrative. this has none of that meanwhile we had rough graphics in fallout: new vegas some 15 years ago, set in a barren desert, and it still can’t be beaten. that should tell you something https://x.com/sundarpichai/status/2016979481832067264

at this point all the clawdbot all instances should rename themselves to clownbot, due to inconceivable number of opsec fuckups done by their handlers

bye old friend, hello new friend after my old unit died, I just received a replacement. we’re back in the recording game, baby

spent an entire day debugging why my tailwind v4 styles weren’t working in a pnpm monorepo. no errors, no warnings, just vibes from 1997. two config options fixed it. saved you a day: https://matthewmorek.com/journal/fixing-tailwindcss-v4-in-a-monorepo-with-next-js

are mac minis the new gpu/ram now? last time I checked all you needed to run clawd was a raspberry pi 4, equally (if not more) in demand right now

this is fucking awesome for all you NYC dwellers https://cannoneyed.com/isometric-nyc/

it’s feels incredible to be a able to ship a hot fix on a saturday evening using claude code instead of waiting till Monday you can defer implementation to a bunch of remote compute and just review a pr everyone’s a technical pm now

lol the regulatory virtue signaling is cringe Apple: USB-C MacBooks (2015) → iPads (2018) → iPhones (2023) they were already moving. now we’re stuck legislating connectors every 15 years? Lightning was literally more durable but hey, we “won” 🙄 https://x.com/DigitalEU/status/2014648784320348575?s=20

vercel finally embraced the sidebar nav pattern. i dig it. way easier to scan labels vertically than horizontally. having icons is an added bonus

we used to do this with nunjucks templates ten years ago. now nextjs parallel routes let us do the same thing in react, and honestly? love it https://matthewmorek.com/journal/building-a-context-aware-admin-toolbar-with-next-js-parallel-routes

so glad a lot of the boring stuff such as export/import scripts can be outsourced to a machine, so I can focus on the good shit... like building your own cms exactly what tony stark would do with jarvis

somebody get my wealth manager on the line; i think i just made it

what the actual fuck is even happening here? are we back yet fam?

finally wrote up the Next.js date hydration fix I keep reimplementing on every project check it out if you're experiencing hydration issues and need proper solutions, not just bandaids https://matthewmorek.com/journal/why-your-next-js-dates-break-on-hydration

my status hasn't changed since early 2024, and i don't think it will change anytime soon

🚧 working on a new interaction pattern for event attendance. still neds work, but we're getting there

communism is so great they had to force people to adopt it or perish somewhere in Syberia (or in an unnamed mass grave) arguably the biggest invention of the USSR was the AK-47 assault rifle, which till this day keeps on giving the world peace and prosperity but yes, comrade, let’s poison the world again with this nonsense and kill another 120M people to have a forced 7hr working day in the name of some utopian state where everyone’s is equally poor

it’s a cartel. in a bubble https://open.substack.com/pub/shanakaanslemperera/p/the-megawatt-mirage-nvidias-36-trillion

looks like we're all taking a day off today

ladies and gentlemen, may present to you… the honeypot
